Nothing pairs quite as well as tamales and margaritas. Luckily, we found a place that serves award-winning versions of both – Fat Mama’s Tamales. And while the famous fare is what put the eatery on the map, it’s known just as much for its fun, festive atmosphere.

Fat Mama’s Tamales in Natchez has been serving up its signature tamales and Knock-You-Naked margaritas since 1989.

A hit right from the start, the eatery quickly outgrew its first location – a 600-square-foot log cabin. In 2005, it moved to its second and current location.

The current locale is just 750 feet from the original, but the move made a big difference - the current spot is much larger and has both an indoor dining room and spacious patio with lots of seating.
